1808 Octavia St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 15-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 1808 Octavia Street, owned by Scarabosio Family Revo Trust, was constructed in 1923 and has undergone several significant modifications and faced multiple compliance issues over the years. Most notably, the building is currently listed as non-compliant with the city's Mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program, having failed to complete all associated work and obtain the required final signoff and certificate of completion, although there was a completed soft story retrofit work worth $40,000 in 2016.

The property has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple violations and complaints from 2000 to 2024, including issues with fire escape maintenance, smoke enclosure doors, exit signage, and fire extinguisher service. Illegal short-term rental activity was documented at the property between 2019-2019, and several unintentional fire incidents and false alarms have been recorded, though no civilian injuries were reported.

Recent improvements include electrical work in 2019 for garage circuits and window replacement in 2002, while various building permits for street space and sidewalk work have been issued over the years. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations, with most recent issues being abated as of February 2024, including violations related to door closers, fire escapes, and egress obstruction. The property has undergone several routine safety inspections and has maintained active compliance with building permit requirements, though the non-compliant status with the Soft Story Retrofit Program remains a significant concern.
